How well subline holds snow

Snow preservationPoor

Facing east at an average 27°, subline gets about 112% of the winter sun that flat ground at Breckenridge does, December through March. That's sunnier than 82% of the runs we've measured, and the 35th sunniest named run at Breckenridge. Its top sits at 12,470 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
